@strypey @bsmall2 Yeah. The Russian info ops are also spreading memes about CIA biological weapon labs, Ukrainian war crimes in Donbas before and after 2014 and other things to justify the attack, without trusting those claims enough to make them officially.

I'm sure there have been war crimes. I'm sure the Russian population hasn't been treated well. But enough for armed revolt and invasion?

Thousands of people have been killed in the last 8 years. Human rights deteriorated in Ukraine and fascist gangs were given looser reins to torture and disappear people, but the situation on Crimea and in the occupied territories in Donbas seems to have become even worse, with no free media and with people disappearing.
